And because "Everybody does it" that we should not single out the present administration. But this is madness. We do not catch all the murderers, yet when we catch a murderer, we deal with them as harshly as possible, in order to deter more murderers.</p><br><br> <p align="left">Right now, we have the criminals at hand. and, while other leaders in history have lied to start wars, for the first time in history, the lie stands exposed while the war started with the lies still rages on, to the death and detriment of our young men and women in uniform. We cannot in good moral conscience ignore this lie, this crime, lest we encourage future leaders to continue to lie to use to send our kids off to pointless wars. Lying to start a war is more than an impeachable offence; it the highest possible crime a government can commit against their own people. Lying to start a war is not only misappropriation of the nation's military and the nation's money under false pretenses, but it is outright murder committed on a massive scale. Lying to start a war is a betrayal of the trust each and every person who serves in the military places in their civilian leadership. By lying to start a war, the Bush administration has told the military fatalities and their families that they have no right to know why they were sent to their deaths. It's none of their business. </p><br> <p align="left">Our nation is founded on the principle of rule with the consent of the governed. Because We The People do not consent to be lied to, a government that lies rules without the consent of the governed, and ruling without the consent of the governed is slavery.</p><br> <p align="left">You should be more than angry. You should be in a rage. You should be in a rage no less than that of the families of those young men and women who have been killed and maimed in this war started with a lie.You need to be in a rage and you need to act on that rage because even as I type these words, the same government that lied about Iraq's nuclear weapons is telling the exact same lies about Iran's nuclear capabilities. The writing is on the wall; having gotten away with lying to start the war in Iraq, the US Government will lie to start a war in Iran, and after that another, and after that another, and another and another and another because as long as you remain silent, and as long as you remain inactive, the liars have no reason to stop. </p><br><br> <p align="center">As long as you remain inactive, the liars have no reason to stop.</p><br> <p align="center">None.</p><br> <p align="center" class="style1">It is time to fire the liars. </p><br><br> <p align="center"> <strong><em>"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is <br><br>for good men to do nothing" </em></strong>. <br><br><br>--Edmund Burke </p></td><br> </tr><br></table><br><br><hr width="630" color="#FFFFFF"><br><br> <align="center"><br> <center><br> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="640" id="AutoNumber6" cellpadding="7"><br> <tr><br> <td>U.S.C.
